UMass-URI Gravity Research Consortium


Gravitational waves from LIGO’s first detection
SXS

Welcome to the UMass-URI Gravity Research Consortium (U2GRC).

The U2GRC is a collaboration between the gravity research groups at UMass
Dartmouth and the University of Rhode Island. The research areas of interest to
the group members include: black holes, gravitational waves, multi-messenger
astronomy, astrophysics and quantum gravitation. Most members are part of the
LIGO Science Collaboration or the LISA Consortium. Research efforts in the U2GRC
are funded through multiple National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, NASA and
private foundations (FQXi and others).

U2GRC members collaborate externally with other research groups including the
Simulating Extreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration (Caltech & Cornell), Kavli
Institute for Astrophysics (MIT), Black Hole Initiative & Center for
Astrophysics (Harvard), Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics
(Germany), Texas Tech, Penn State University and Louisiana State University.

 * Kevin’s paper published in Physical Review D! - Kevin’s MS thesis paper just
   got published and can be found here: Phys. Rev. D 105, 044032 (2022) Scalar
   and gravitational transient hair for near-extremal black holes We study the
   existence and nature of Aretakis charge and its potentially observable
   imprint at a finite distance from the horizon (Ori coefficient) in
   near-extremal black hole backgrounds. Specifically, […]
 * Paper on discovery of gravitational recoil -
   https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/a-swift-kick-sends-a-black-hole-careening
   Multiple members of UGRC collaborated with others in the field to make this
   major discovery — gravitational recoil or “kick” from a black hole binary
   merger. Congrats, Scott, Tousif and Feroz! Preprint available here:
   arXiv:2201.01302 (2022) Check out a news story from UMassD about this
   discovery here:
   https://www.umassd.edu/news/2022/scott-field-black-hole-discovery.html
 * Scott Field’s New Paper in Phys.Org! - UGRC faculty member, Scott Field,
   along with collaborators at U. Mississippi and Lawrence Livermore National
   Laboratory developed a new methodology using artificial intelligence for
   learning about black hole dynamics from gravitational wave measurements.

 * UGRC Research Featured on the OpenStorageNetwork - The Open Storage Network
   (OSN) is an NSF funded, distributed storage network for research data. The
   OSN project recently featured EMRI Surrogate on their site and also as part
   of their BoF presentation at Supercomputing 2021. See below:

 * Gaurav Khanna elected as an APS Fellow! - Our own Gaurav Khanna was elected
   as an APS fellow for his outstanding contributions and pioneering work in
   computational relativity, including innovative supercomputing techniques,
   computations of gravitational perturbations of black holes, gravitational
   waveforms from extreme mass-ratio binaries, classical black hole physics, and
   quantum gravity.
